Although he isn't credited as the show's creator or as a contributor to its scripts, Taylor Sheridan 's shadow looms large on the latest installment of his sprawling Yellowstone saga. The series began in 2018 with the wildly popular neo-Western original, starring Kevin Costner as the patriarch of a Montana ranch. The show ended its five-season run in 2023, by which time it had become the most popular thing on television. Sheridan created two prequel series, 1883 and 1923 , and produced a string of unrelated hits for Paramount+. However, he is involved mostly in name only in the two Yellowstone sequel shows. The first out of the gate was the CBS procedural Marshals , and the second was Dutton Ranch , which debuted on Paramount+.
